🎉 Record High for Dax: Celebrating Trump's Tariff Truce! 🎉
Stocks surge to new heights following Trump's market plunge
The optimistic vibes are overflowing as Dax, our beloved German stock index, is breaking records left and right! A month after the tariff tumult caused by Donald Trump, we're on a charm offensive, surpassing our previous record high of 23,476 points.
With the US-UK trade agreement in place, the stock markets are beaming with euphoria! On Thursday, German leading index gleefully jumped 1% to 23,352.69 points, while the US counterparts celebrated with less fervor.
But, let's not pop the champagne just yet, warns Thomas Altmann, the shrewd portfolio manager at QC Partners. "The deal was a breeze for the UK, as it already has a surplus in trade with the USA. So, let's hope for more ambitious deals instead of resting on our laurels!"
💡Getting Curious? Here’s What’s Brewing Behind the Scenes💡
In early April, we took a tumble to nearly 18,490 points when Trump declared hefty tariffs and China retaliated. Since then, we've bounced back with robust resilience, gaining an impressive 27% in our remarkable recovery. This year alone, we've gained a whopping 18%.
The trading focus shifts towards China at week's end, following unexpected customs data. China's exports surged by 8.1% year-on-year in April, while imports suffered a minuscule dip of 0.2%. This is surprising, as experts predicted a far harsher trade blow due to the trade disputes with the USA.
💡It's All About the Money, Honey!💡
Commerzbank, the affectionately pursued bank by Italian UniCredit, reported a net profit of 834 million euros in the first quarter, an increase of 11.7%. This is the cherry on top for investors, as its growth outshines the projected decline to 698 million euros.
And don't forget about Krones and Bechtle, babies! Krones, the world's biggest beverage filling system manufacturer, is proving its mettle amidst economic uncertainty with a 3% surge in shares.
In the USA, Lockheed Martin's and AbbVie's annual general meetings are causing quite the stir.

💡On a Curious Note💡
A recent bounce back in the DAX isn't solely a result of the US-UK trade agreement. Factors like economic growth expectations, tariff easing, and fiscal stimulus have also played significant roles in our rosy recovery. When it comes to specific companies like Commerzbank, Krones, and Bechtle, their performance would depend on various factors like financial sector performance and regulatory changes. Despite some fluctuations, the index remains optimistic due to these supportive factors. But remember, the good times ain't over yet, so let's keep the party going! 🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳! 🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳! 🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
